We are following all of the CDC’s procedures and guidelines for screening and sanitation and will be only seeing one patient in the building at a time.

South Haven Public Schools
This morning, Governor Whitmer announced an extension to the state-issued closure of school to last throughout the remainder of the 2019-20 school year. While this means we will not finish the year in person, it does not mean that school is cancelled. We will be transitioning to an online platform to service our kids for the remainder of the school year. Although this is the last thing we imagined or wanted for our kids and staff this year, we have been preparing a plan in the event distance learning became necessary. Final details and logistics are being finalized and will be presented to families in the coming weeks as we work with the Van Buren ISD and Michigan Department of Education for their approval. We will have additional information the week of April 13th. [Read More]
